Pretty Much Perfect

This film was engaging from the get-go and stayed good throughout. I got goosebumps many times, and my husband cried a lot. A beautiful story that kept us so interested from beginning to end.

A TRUE story of love and endurance

Amazing Story. Good work Netflix. The say goes, 'There is no crying in baseball', but that certainly doesn't count while watching this very moving story. Very powerful and touching story of devotion and love. The poems Pat wrote to Terry are so moving, not a dry eye in the room.

Love is Love

Love is beautiful. This is a must watch and a lesson to all of us that we only have 1 life to live so live it as best you know and with love

A sercret love

I've read a lot of books, but I've never read a story about a woman falling in love with another woman. I hope you feel the same way. It's one of the most beautiful notes Pat ever wrote to me

Endearing & Enduring Tale of Love...

... about two sprightly ladies overcoming the prejudice of generations to be together. Hopefully this goes someway to removing those prejudices, indeed any prejudice that continues to exist today, through the joy of two people in love with each other. Also a documentary about them growing older, the dilemmas of friends and family on how best to support them as they do - has parallels and dilemmas that we will all have to face sometime, that is if we're not facing them already.

Since Terry Donahue's death, Pat Henschel remains connected to her wife's family--including Terry's niece Diana Bolan, featured prominently in the documentary. Henschel and Bolan's bond has utterly transformed since the documentary was filmed; they are now very close.

Quotes
Pat Henschel: It's called "Always - I'll Remember This Night."
[reads poem]
Pat Henschel: "It might have been just one more walk / Beneath a moonlight hue / But darling - it meant everything / Because I walked with you / It might have been just one more night / A single night of seven / My darling - you were there with me / 'Twas one more night of heaven / On we sauntered seldom speaking / As we passed through Moonlight Lane / Happiness walked there inside me / When you smiled and called my name / Hours fled like winged moments / Hand in hand we walked alone / 'Twas one night I shall remember / One more night to call our own."
